They should care about Christians in syria,iraq, Lebanon

The illegal occupation and war crimes must end
Palestinians are Jesus's people
Christians and Muslims unite against extermination of religions in the holy land by Zionist regime
If u try to use 1 of our holiest places especially on this CHRISTMAS as a political pawn with your propaganda, it wont work not for me. A child is born ,God gave us his most precious gift.Jesus is in our ❤ s no matter where we are or who is occupying his place of birth.🙏 & i say t.y Jesus & happy birthday, every CHRISTMAS my thing as a Christian that did not stop this year,❤🇺🇸
Christmas is about remembering Christ, the birth of Christ, Jesus the Saviour of the world, the Redeemer of mankind. Jesus is love, life, truth, liberty, righteousness, justice, peace, hope. HAMAS terrorists are the ones to blame for all the bloodshed & deaths. They started this war, not Israel.
Everyone wants to blame Israel. I say God bless Israel!
God bless the Jewish people.
God bless the IDF.
🇮🇱❤️🇮🇱

Hamas supporters are against Christmas because it's a Christian holiday. The flag they wave around the world is a symbol of Islam.
The world needs to extricate itself from Israeli influence. The rogue state of Israel, now and since 1948 committing genocide on the Palestinian people, has an undeclared and unregulated nuclear weapons program,
is through its Jewish agencies (Jewish or Israel are almost always in the title of its representative agencies) actively recruiting foreigners for its Israeli soldiers of the racist supremacist apartheid, occupation, and genocide army of Israel for the express purpose of oppressing and murdering Palestinians,
and uses dead or live Canadian passports for its international assassins.
It is exerting economic terrorism within Canada, the US, and western countries by using intimidation and undue influence to have our doctors fired for revealing Israeli war criminal atrocities upon the Palestinian people when we're is in a severe doctor shortage, to create Jewish-Israeli-centric representation aimed at suppressing the truth of the use of medical terrorism and suppressing the minority Palestinian voice within their own countries here in the west.
It is exerting economic terrorism within Canada, the US, and western countries by using intimidation and undue influence to have our educators and employees fired for revealing Israeli war criminal atrocities upon the Palestinian people when we're is in an economic crisis, to create Jewish-Israeli-centric representation aimed at suppressing the truth using educational terrorism and suppressing the minority Palestinian voice within their own countries here in the west.
hostages tell of decent treatment by captors

Netanyahu must face a war crimes trial, for the genocide of 20,000 Palestinians, and forced displacement of 1.9 million civilians! Freedom & Justice for Palestine!🇵🇸
To say there’s no celebration is misleading. To rephrase, things were somber there. Most Christians in the holy land are Palestinian. Their brethren are under siege in Gaza, and it’s hard to celebrate. Also, tourists won’t travel bc they don’t want to get caught in the crossfire. At the end of the day, Jesus came to create peace and that’s what we all seek
Such hypocrisy!
The devil is in control
In solidarity with the people of Palestine today and every day.
Zionism is Lucifer’s Army
Yeshua is celebrated every day every moment. Jesus said know the truth and the truth will set you free. Christians need be strong, and be filled with the revelation of word the God and pray for your discernment to know Good and Evil,do not be emotional.
Politically, the Bethlehem Governorate is something of a stronghold of the Palestinian left. At the 2006 Palestinian legislative election the Popular Front for the Liberation of Palestine and The Alternative both had their best votes there. Its current governor is Salah al-Tamari. So the Islamic terrorists are now closing Bethlehem.
I cant remember a time when they closed Bethlehem the birth of our savior. You can STILL Watch his birth here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yumoqNlaPCE
God bless Bethlehem. And all its people I mean all of them. Please quit hurting each other please.😢
He's right people spent Christmas in rubble. But the era of Jesus was ruff. But then you could escape into Egypt. Today its worse, your trapped and starved.
Let’s not forget that there are only less than 700 Gazan Christian’s left that are at risk of extinction. Western Christian’s who support Israel should be ashamed. We need to remember that some of these Palestinian Christian’s may have bloodlines back to Christ.
What about the Hostages being held by the followers of the spiteful false prophet?
This is the real Christianity
Jesus wasn’t born on Christmas . Christmas is a attempt to turn pagans into Christians. Originally a Roman traditional holiday .
Muslims dont celebrate Christmas. They all hate Christians.
Sad to see Christian Palestinians siding with Hamas in the propaganda war.
More like Christmas is cancelled because the 10% of Bethlehem is afraid of what the intolerant 90% will do to them
Power of Zionist money
Politicians 💰 🤑 💸 😎 USA 😎 🙈 🙊 🙉 🇺🇸 world 🌎 Double gamer arms commission broker don't trust 🌎
So where's god and jesus during all this war?
Canceled is Palestine
this is what "God" wants lol
Great. Thank you for reporting. May there be peace. May god protect the innocents suffering.
✡️🏨🇺🇸
Read the full message in it.
👍✝️
Try me
But when God says no to the government. He means it. And nobody has power over God.
Who bites the hand that fed them. 😆🦧👍✡️🏩. Take it home.
No freedom no peace
Only till we say goodbye in America due to 🏩✡️👮🏿♀️
The cold blooded Americans wouldn’t even listen to their own and continue to support Israel committing genocide of Palestinians. Yet they ask “Why do they hate us?”
Netanyahu to The Hague.
christians in america would never do this
What the Democrats and the left are trying to do to Christians is despicable
